About the Workshop (this is a combined Modern and Ancient History workshop): 

A modern history for the 21st Century with Dr Daryl Le Cornu
In today's fast-paced world it has never been more important that the students we teach - the citizens of the future - are exposed to a balanced approach to modern history, one that gives them the insight to understand the contemporary world and the inspiration to find a fulfilling role in it.

Deeper learning through critical historical exploration with Christopher Bradbury
Modern History provides teachers and students with the unique opportunity to develop crucial transferable skills such as critical thinking, effective communication, reasoning, inquiry, argument and problem-solving through the process of historical exploration in the study of key events, personalities and thematic studies.

Modern History and current issues of evidence and sites of contestability with Dr Kay Carroll
Current approaches to Modern History include forensic archaeology, site studies and source analysis. These methods provide rich insights into significant events and policies of the past. This session will focus on how historians construct and interpret evidence, and looking at the Q station, North Head.

Overview of the Nature of Ancient History with Pamela Bradley
This session will address Part 1 of the Year 11 Ancient History course, with an introduction to some of the methods and issues involved in investigating the past, along with the process involved in an historical investigation.
